Chan Yung-jan upsets Ashleigh Barty

FORMER grand slam doubles finalist Chan Yung-jan upstaged rising Australian tennis star Ashleigh Barty and sent the teenager packing in the opening round of the McDonald's Burnie International last night.

The 24-year-old Taiwanese, who featured in both the Australian and US Open doubles finals in 2007, was staring down the barrel of defeat after losing the first set 6-4 and finding herself 3-1 down in the second set facing break points.
